The document provides information from the Navy Counselors Symposium including highlights on restoration of ratings and the Post 9/11 GI Bill. It discusses benefits of the Post 9/11 GI Bill for active duty members and veterans/dependents including tuition assistance, housing allowance, and book stipends. The bill now allows service members to transfer benefits to dependents if they commit to 4 more years of service after 6 years of active duty. The document encourages sailors to consider teaching careers through the Troops to Teachers program and provides details on an informational session about the program. It also provides updates on extensions for sailors on PTS and sailors' new ability to submit their own CMS applications when in their PCS window.

Navy Counselors Symposium Highlights
Navywide Command Career Counselors and few Command Master Chiefs gathered for annual training and symposium
last June 15-19 and discussed important information about future and current Navy Career Issues. Most have already
been posted through NAVADMIN. But read some of the highlights inside this issue or go directly to this link for complete
presentation: http://www.usnca.org/21stsym/21stsymbriefs.htm
POST 9/11 G.I. BILL
Beginning August 1, the Post-9/11 GI Bill will offer Sailors and their family members a new option to pay for higher
education. The Post-9/11 GI Bill is the most comprehensive education benefit package since the Service members'
Readjustment Act, commonly known as the GI Bill of Rights, which was signed into law in 1944.
Benefits for active duty members
• The Post-9/11 GI Bill will cover payment of tuition and fees for active duty service members attending a public
institution of higher learning, either on campus or online.
• If a service member is taking courses using Tuition Assistance (TA), the Post-9/11 GI Bill will pay for the amount of
tuition and fees that are not covered by TA.
Benefits for qualified veterans or qualified dependents
• For veterans and their dependents, the Post-9/11 GI Bill will cover tuition and fees, not to exceed the highest
established charges for in-state undergraduate tuition rate at a public institution of higher learning in the state where
the veteran or dependent is attending school.
• The program will also pay a monthly housing allowance based on the Basic Allowance for Housing for an E-
5 with dependents determined by the ZIP code of the institution of higher learning if the beneficiary is enrolled
more than half time with at least one course in a traditional classroom setting. Service members may also
receive a book and supplies stipend of up to $1,000 per academic year.
Transferability
• Sailors are now able to transfer benefits to their dependents. Transferability has been one of the most requested
benefits from the fleet and family advocacy groups.
• To qualify for transferability, the service member must have served at least six years on active duty or in the Selected
Reserve, must commit to another four years and must be on active duty on August 1, 2009.
• If a service member retires prior to August 1, 2009, but has active duty service after September 11, 2001,
they are eligible for benefits, but not transferability.
Additional information
• While the Post-9/11 GI Bill provides excellent benefits, some service members and veterans will benefit more under
other programs. The decision on which program to use depends on individual factors, including the type of education
or training the beneficiary plans to pursue.
• Tuition for programs from private or graduate schools that exceed the highest established charges for public, in-
state undergraduate tuition may be offset through the Yellow Ribbon program.
• NAVADMIN 187/09 outlines Post-9/11 GI Bill eligibility requirements and benefits.

•Eligible GI Bill active duty members may now transfer their benefit by using VA Form 22-1990E.
Career service members on Aug. 1, and who are eligible for the "Post 9/11 GI Bill," may be entitled
to transfer all or a portion of their education entitlement to one or more family members. (Refer
to NAVADMIN 187/09)
•DOD has authorized family members to be stationed in BAHRAIN effective July 2009. This
decision marks the second step to change a DoD policy that has been in place since July 2004
when families were required to relocate following security concerns. The return of adult family
members, announced late last year, was the first step in a phased process to bring back DoD
family members of all ages to Bahrain. Most NAVCENT personnel currently serve 12-month
unaccompanied tours in Bahrain, with some billets designated as 18-month tours. This latest
decision will authorize military members to be stationed in Bahrain for accompanied tours with
their families for up to two years.
•Sailors can now submit their own job CMS Applications when they’re on PCS window. Previously,
CCC was required to submit applications on Sailor’s behalf. Sailors empowered to take greater
control of their careers.
•Navy Spouses and dependents over the age of 13, can register for NKO accounts. Their side of

USMAP
Sailors should sign up for the United Services Military Apprenticeship Program (USMAP). A Sailor performs his
duties while accumulating on-the-job training hours leading to a DOL Journey Worker's certification. DOL's
rules for the program include being a high school graduate or GED recipient; working in an applicable Navy
rating (most Navy ratings are covered); successful completion of rating-related Navy "A" or "C" schools.
Paper applications are available at NCO or you may register online at

QUESTION OF THE MONTH: POST 9-11 GI BILL Transfer
Q: I received disapproval of my Post 9/11 GI BILL TEB request for my spouse/child. Why?
A: -The disapproval of the request is likely due to not meeting the pending OBLISERV requirements for TEB.
-Only personnel that have 20 years or more of active duty service are receiving approvals as there is no
additional OBLISERV requirement for this specific group. Personnel that require additional OBLISERV must
ensure the OBLISERV reflects in the Electronic Service Record (ESR) prior to receiving approval.

Requirement: -Enlisted: OBLISERV must reflect in ESR for EAOS/Soft EAOS. For Officers: Require Page 13

Extensions Authorized on PTS n
Extensions for first-term Sailors may be authorized by the CO in the following cases, provided the
extension is executed prior to 12 months from EAOS and the extension does not carry the Sailor
beyond 6 years of service:
(1) As outlined in MILPERSMAN 1160-040
(2) To await selection results for officer programs.
(3) As outlined in reference (d). (PFA instruction)
MILPERSMAN 1160-040 is the extensions MILPERSMAN article and EAOS to PRD is one of those
extensions. The problem here is most commands wait until these Sailors are in the PTS window
to try to do the extension. As long as they do it 12 months or more out, it is valid.

4. What is New: CMS-ID Sailor Application
CMS-ID: Career Management System Interactive Detailing
SAILORS CAN NOW USE CAREER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM / INTERACTIVE DETAILING (CMS/ID) TO EXPLORE CAREER
OPPORTUNITIES AND ACHIEVE CAREER OBJECTIVES
For more information see NAVADMIN 200/09
Beginning with the July Application Phase, all Sailors (Active and Reserve) who connect to Career Management
System/Interactive Detailing (CMS/ID) through the Internet will have the option to submit their own job
applications directly to Detailers. In the past, active duty Sailors had to rely on Command Career Counselors
(CCCs) to submit applications for them, while drilling Reservists successfully used CMS/ID to submit their own job
applications for several years.
Talking Points:
No functionality is being removed from the CMS/ID CCC or Command roles.
CCCs maintain the ability to submit job applications for Sailors.
New functionality does NOT remove the CCC or Command leadership from the detailing process.
Interaction between Command - CCC - Detailer - Sailor remains the most important aspect of career
management.
Sailors will continue to work with their CCCs and/or Detailers for their next job assignments.
Sailors will continue to rely on robust command involvement to ensure none enter the detailing process without
guidance and mentorship.
Deckplate leaders will continue to encourage Sailors to seek informed counsel and work closely with their CCCs
throughout the orders negotiation process. Sailors must be within their orders negotiation window to submit job
applications. CMS/ID will block any application attempts outside the negotiation window.
Command leadership will ensure Sailors are provided access to CAC-enable computers and to the Internet to
support detailing efforts. Access CMS/ID at https://www.cmsid.navy.mil, or through NKO at
https://www.nko.navy.mil. A Common Access Card (CAC) and card reader are required for access.
For customer support, call the Global Distance Support Center (GDSC) toll-free at (877) 418-6824 (CONUS), or DSN
(510) 422-6824 (OCONUS). Email support requests to help@anchordesk.navy.mil.
MORE CMS-ID POINTERS:
•Sailors must meet PTS requirements outlined in
NAVADMINs 017/09 and 161/09
•Sailors in order negotiation window may submit CMS/ID
applications
•New function does not remove CCC or command
leadership from the detailing process
oFunction only available via Internet
Applications received via other methods receive equal
consideration
oCCCs and detailers retain ability to submit PCS job
applications on behalf of Sailors
oSailors will work with CCCs and detailers for PCS job
assignments
oFunction is not removed from CMS/ID CCC or command
roles
•Sailors should continue to seek command and CCC Courtesy of Navy Times
guidance prior to submitting job applications
o Job selections are made after monthly application cycle

6. INQUIRY & ADVICE
Questions / Answers Regarding Permanent Change of Station (PCS) Restoral
Q: I hear that PCS funds were restored...when will I get my PCS orders? • Approximately 9,200 enlisted Sailors who had
their FY09 Projected Rotation Dates deferred to FY10 can begin their negotiations for follow-on orders. • Will
release orders according to NPC's existing prioritization strategy; GSA rotations, career milestone billets,
critical readiness fills, minimizing gaps at sea for deployed units and those working up to deploy. • Those with
the nearest rotation date and overseas orders should expect to see PCS orders first. • To the maximum
extent possible, NPC will honor those Sailors' originally agreed-upon assignments and will work with each
individual to minimize disruption to them and their families. • NPC will continue our close coordination with
USFF and the Fleet N1s to ensure NPC focus our resources where they are needed most.
Q: What should I do if I am waiting for PCS orders? For Enlisted Sailors: • If your PRD was moved to November, you are
in your negotiating window. • If your PRD was moved, your detailer recorded what you previously asked for
and will make every effort to keep you on track. • The current requisition, which was a full Fleet release,
closes at 0500 CST on 24 June. • While the July requisition has not been developed yet, NPC have no reason
to believe that it will be constrained.
For Officers: • You should know if your PCS orders are being held while NPC waited for PCS funds. Most orders that
were in the holding pattern should be out in a few weeks at the latest .• Those that have not yet negotiated
PCS orders should begin the negotiation process. Most Sailors have been in contact with their Detailers, but
those with specific issues should call or write to their detailer.
Q: Is there going to be an impact on moving my house hold goods? • Summer PCS season is the busiest time of year
for families to move, so you should expect some delay as moves ramp up. Recommend contacting your
local personal property office after receiving PCS orders for a more realistic planning timeline. • NPC
anticipate that many families will now be able to set up HHG moves and rotate between school years.
Q: My PRD is in December which is 6 months away, can I get my PCS orders now to move my family over the summer?
• The new DoD mandated PCS Obligation Policy Change (POPC) directs that PCS orders are costed when
the orders are released. • While NPC will do our best to get PCS orders as soon as possible, NPC will be
working on those with the closest PRDs. • Some Sailors expecting to PCS in the Nov to Dec 09 timeframe may
not see orders until 1Oct09.
Q: I'm transferring from/to an OCONUS location and it takes 60 days for HHGs to ship. Will I get my orders in hand in
time to ship my HHGs 60 days prior to PRD? Maybe. Detailers will work very hard to identify those personnel
in need of orders for special circumstances. However, the fiscal realities may prevent early receipt of orders.
Personnel should have backup plans in place.
Q: Can I get a letter of intent? No. Letters of intent cause us to obligate PCS funds immediately, which is the same
impact as writing PCS orders. A letter of intent without accounting data will not be accepted for scheduling
HHG appointments since HHG scheduling obligates funds. Additionally, if you are concerned about status
on a housing priority list, priority is established when you detach from your command, not when you receive
orders, so any paperwork (PCS orders or letter of intent) received before you detach will not affect your
priority status on a housing wait list.
Q: Will a delay in PCS orders affect my status on the housing priority list? Housing priority is established when you
detach from your command, not when you receive orders, so any paperwork (PCS orders or letter of intent)
received before you detach will not affect your priority status on a housing wait list.
Q: Are no-cost moves going to happen? Maybe. No-cost PCS orders are able to be released however, the
member's relief must be able to report prior to releasing orders for the member to detach. If your relief's
orders can not be released due to cost, you may not be able to execute a no-cost move.
Q: What if I already have orders in hand? Can I expect that they will be cancelled? If you have orders in hand, you
can execute as planned. There are no plans to cancel any released orders.
Q: How are PRD extensions and geostability moves impacted by PCS reductions? Part of Navy's approach to
mitigating PCS funding shortfalls is to PCS personnel to assignments within the same geographic area to
continue to support Fleet Readiness. Detailers are attempting to maximize PRD extensions, and geo stability
moves where possible and practical to support the needs of the Sailor and the Fleet.
Q: If I’m in my detailing window should I apply for a job in CMS/ID? Yes. You should still apply for jobs in CMS/ID
NOTE: General questions should be directed to your chain of command or 1-866-U ASK NPC (1-866-827-
5672). Detailers are standing by to answer questions specific to your situation.
